Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 13, 2020: Robert Minter, Investment Strategist at Aberdeen Standard Investments, explains the impact of the pandemic on the O&G sector worldwide and offers some predictions for the next 12 months.
Some stress had already begun to appear in the global oil markets at the turn of the year. The US and Europe were in the middle of an unusually warm winter, which reduced energy demand. In the US, investors were prioritising capital discipline over production increases and had started raising interest rates for lower credit quality oil producers. But little evidence existed for the impending shock to demand that would dwarf all others.
The first cases of coronavirus occurred in early December but were not in sufficient scale to be noticed until six weeks later ......read more

These developments continue to be most visible across key commodities as they respond to demand more most other sectors. The table below shows the impact on key commodities since the Covid-19 pandemic became known outside of China. Growth and demand ......read more

Written by: Georges El Mir, Vice President Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals, Schneider Electric
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, April 16, 2020: Oil prices have been declining since reaching a record of almost $150/barrel over a decade ago (yes, prices were that high).

As many of us settle into a routine of working from home, companies have never been better prepared to take advantage of the technology now available to meet these new demands.
However, this greater flexibility in how we are working comes with drawbacks. To stay connected with our colleagues, remote working requires greater usage of electricity and energy, between plugging in our machines, using appliances more often, and the temptation for regular trips to the coffee machine or boiling water for a cup of tea.
